The U.S. DOT released sample legislation of what could eventually become a bill to ban the act of texting while driving for all of the US.
It’s considered a starting point for the states to create their legislation and take action. The law was modeled after an executive order handed from President Barack Obama in Nov 2009 telling federal employees not to text and drive in government vehicles.

For the first time since WWII, the number of cars destroyed outnumbered the number of new purchases in 2009. 14 million destroyed compared to 10 million purchased shrinking the total in operation by 2%. During WWII this happened due to the needs of the military and scrap metal, but now it’s all from the economy.
It will be interesting how this effects auto insurance rates over all.

Jan 25th 2009, it was a cold morning in Austin yet thousands didn’t bother waiting for the sun to show before heading to the annual big race. All Web Leads arrived at the finish line before 7 AM to pass out water to the inspiring runners of the 13 mile run through Austin that draws people from all over the world.
I’m told there were over 4,900 registered runners, so of course we were ready with over 5,000 bottles of water. To the first 500, they got a cool koozie that said All Web Leads on it and with the bands in it like the snap bracelets from the late 80’s that makes it fit nearly any size drink container. Hey, it’s the little things that add to it!
We all had a lot of fun and of those that were able to come from AWL, some brought family and friends to help out as well.
Of course we weren’t going to miss all the action while being buried in water chores, we were able to get some shots of the event as well.
Here’s our banner on the parking garage we were told to remove by the nicest of race/medical workers who apparently had rights to the public parking garage and everything in it… yes the police officer we asked about it was confused as well, but whatever.
The water is lined up and everyone is trying to keep their hands warm while waiting on the runners!
Everyone is in place like a well oiled machine! 
The first 3 across the line are pictured here with the winner of the wheelchair division being Brad Ray from New Mexico with a time of 53.04. He’s the one in the back sleeveless.
Martin Fagan (from Ireland) set a new men’s record at 1:01:05, beating the previous 1999 record by 11 seconds set by Andres Espinoza from Mexico.
(not pictured)Belaynesh Gebre (from Ethiopia) won the women’s division at 1:11:17.
Things shortly after got crazy as the masses began finishing and celebrating with family and friends.
Thanks everyone who came out! and thanks Erik Josowitz, the VP of Corporate Marketing for All Web Leads for organizing the AWL group and participation!
